Description

Green Acres Farm, Tewksbury NJ

A long, tree-lined gravel drive leads to a classic country home overlooking green pastures and a stocked pond. This equestrian property consists of 15.72 beautiful acres with open fields, expansive lawns and colorful gardens surrounding a classic country house. Custom-built of white brick, the home has a distinctive northern European sensibility. Fenced horse pastures, a riding ring, and tree-lined perimeters take in lovely pastoral views. As a bonus, this property is close to the extensive Tewksbury Trail System which meanders through the countryside for miles of off-road horseback riding.

The English-inspired walking garden and pool house are screened from the home by a lush 12-foot privet hedge. Pea stone walkways lead through an arched gateway, dripping with roses, to the Williamsburg-style pool house designed by noted architect, Ed O’Brian. This elegant three season structure overlooks the pool and a bluestone patio covered by a natural canopy of wisteria. The pool house offers a timbered ceiling, full kitchen, full bath, living room with stone fireplace and a sleeping loft. The charming pergola is the perfect place for summer dining, while a built-in stainless steel grill makes poolside entertaining a breeze.

Well-established plantings define various outdoor rooms surrounding the home. There are generous parking areas around the six-stall stable and the garage apartment building. The property consists of several outbuildings, including a large pole barn for storage, a chicken coop, four run-in sheds and a separate fenced organic vegetable garden, which also contains a berry patch and is surrounded by fruit trees.

Streamlined yet sophisticated, this home has a youthful, chic feel. It has the look and feel of a vintage-styled farmhouse that has been updated and expanded through the years. Highlights include two wood-burning fireplaces, a refurbished kitchen, richly-hued wood floors, French doors, bonus spaces on the second floor and an office.

The traditional floor plan provides a center hall, a double living room with fireplace, a dining room with fireplace, a sun room with three walls of long windows adjoining the bluestone terrace overlooking the pond, green lawns and fenced pastures. Also noteworthy is a large, well-appointed mudroom off the kitchen where the rear staircase is located, plus a half bath serving the first floor.

The second floor has three main bedrooms, two updated full baths, and a pass-through lounging-sitting room-office leading to two bonus guest rooms. The laundry room and rear staircase are tucked off the back hallway.

There is an attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage with a spacious three-room apartment upstairs. The finished basement is walkout and provides extra recreational space.

A six-stall, center aisle horse barn, fenced riding ring, and various run-in sheds facilitate equestrian activities, while the pool house with kitchen and loft provides welcoming seasonal guest quarters. All of these amenities, including ample acreage for horses or ATV off-road riding, and a stocked pond on the secluded park-like grounds, offer solace from the busy outside world and provide a playground and haven for those looking for an active yet peaceful lifestyle.
